Traffic-light legend
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 🟢 Green | Functional / production-ready |
| 🟡 Yellow | In progress / development |
| 🔴 Red | Blocked / not started |
Program status summary
| Component | WIS traceability | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Modular runtime architecture (server.py + lib/data.py) |
WIS-006 | 🟢 Green | Migrated from single-file script to modular layout for maintainability and cleaner backend swap-in. |
Worker status tool (get_worker_status) |
WIS-009 | 🟢 Green | Tool returns structured, allowlist-oriented worker payloads from deterministic mock data. |
Worker manager lookup (get_worker_manager) |
WIS-017 prep | 🟢 Green | Manager relationship resolution supports normal, missing-manager, and unresolved-manager scenarios. |
Manager mismatch scan (scan_manager_mismatches) |
WIS-017 | 🟢 Green | Prototype is functional and scans all current mock records, including intentional mismatch scenarios. |
| Mock data foundation (9 worker records) | WIS-007, WIS-017 | 🟢 Green | Dataset includes valid hierarchy records and one intentional mismatch for detector validation. |
| Transition to real Workday API backend | WIS-008 | 🟡 Yellow | Next milestone: replace mock-backed execution path with API token flow and secure secret handling. |
| Non-prod Workday auth and access readiness | WIS-001, WIS-002, WIS-003 | 🔴 Red | External dependency closure required before end-to-end non-prod API validation can complete. |
Discipline drives quality
| Engineering discipline pillar | Current state | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Type hinting discipline | 🟢 Green | Function signatures and return contracts in Workday/workday-mcp/server.py and typed mock map in Workday/workday-mcp/lib/data.py. |
| Pylance quality gate | 🟢 Green | Current implementation maintains zero known Pylance errors in active Workday-MCP runtime files. |
| Modular structure discipline | 🟢 Green | Separation of orchestration (server.py) and dataset/backend data layer (lib/data.py) enables controlled evolution to API mode. |
| Traceability discipline | 🟢 Green | WIS IDs embedded in docstrings and aligned with sprint board/backlog artifacts. |
Current sprint alignment (WIS roadmap)
| Workstream | Primary IDs | Status | Outcome target |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core read tooling stabilization | WIS-006 to WIS-011 | 🟡 Yellow | Preserve schema stability while preparing backend transition to real API calls. |
| Mismatch detection execution | WIS-014 to WIS-018 | 🟡 Yellow | WIS-017 manager mismatch detector is prototyped and functional; remaining categories continue in sequence. |
| Automation and reporting | WIS-019 to WIS-026 | 🔴 Red | Daily/weekly flow automation and KPI reporting start after API-path readiness and detector completion. |
Recent activity
- Completed modular architecture migration from single-file runtime to
server.py+lib/data.py. - Implemented and validated three operational MCP tools:
get_worker_status,get_worker_manager, andscan_manager_mismatches. - Confirmed WIS-017 prototype behavior against 9 mock worker records, including intentional manager mismatch coverage.
- Established next delivery focus on WIS-008 (mock-to-real Workday API transition).
Next milestone focus
| Milestone | ID | Status | Exit criteria |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mock-to-API transition | WIS-008 | 🟡 Yellow | Obtain non-prod credentials, complete secure token flow, execute first API-backed read tool in runtime path. |
